Bo it known that l. ll'iniinmr N. Tnnnr, a citizen ot' the United States, residing at Freeporty` in the county of Stephenson, State ot Illinois, have invented a newand useful Barrel Stand;` and I do hereby declare the following to be a tull, clear, and exact de scription ot' the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine.

T he invention relates to barrel stands, and has for its object to provide a device of this character comprising a base having a tiltable frame therein one end ot which may be .15 placed in engagement with the ground when a barrel is being placmly thereon and the trame tilted tor supporting the barrel spaced from ground and in a horizontal position, thereby allowing liquid lto be drawn Jrom witha pivoted leg,- which leg moves to a vertical position during a tilting operation, and is so positioned that when the tiltable frame is substantially horizontally disposed., said leg will move to a substantially if'ertical position, and hold the tiltable ifi-aine in a horiaontal position. y

il `further object is to provide the tiltable trame with upwardly extending arms, the upper enc of which are pivoted to up- Yardly extending arms carried by the base.

'l/Viththe above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement ot parts as hereinafter set torthfshown in the drawings,` described and claimed. it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit ot the invention.

Figure l is a top plan view of tie barrel stand. u

Figure il is a vertical longitudinal `sectional view taken on line 2--2 of Figure 1.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the base of the stand, which base comprises spaced bars in parallel re lation to each. otheiny wh'cl bars are connected togeteher by means of transversely disposed bars 3. Extending upwardly from the spaced bars 2 are arms l, which arms are rigidly braced by means ot braces 5the upper ends o which are secured at 6 to oppo-` site sides of the arms 4, and the lower ends the barrel. Also to provide a tiltable frame secured at 7 to the spaced bars 2.V lt will be seen that la rigid base 11s formed, which base maybe disposed on the ground. Disposed between the upwardly etending arms il; is a trame 8, on which frame a barrel is adapted to be disposed and held in a hori- Zontal position. `'lhe frame 8 comprises the side members which are parallel with each other and. have their ends 10 bent at 11 to form inwardly extending members 12 65 which terminate in longitudinally disposed portions 13 in parallel relation to each. other, which portions are connected together by rods lll. rlhe rods 141 are spaced from each other, thereby allowing a bar 15 to be 70 inserted between the rods during a tilting operation of the tiltable frame 8. Extend ing upwardly from the sides 9 of the trame 8 are arms 16, which 'arms are pivotally mounted on the bolts 17 which extend 75 `through the upwardly extending arms a of the base 1. lt will be seen that the pivotal point of the trame is above the main body of the iframe, therefore the trame is an underslung one, and when the barrel 18 is dis` 80 posed on the cross bars19 of the frame 8, the frame will assume a position according to the center of gravity of the barrel and trame. However the end 8a of the 'frame 8 is preferably heavier so vthat/when the pivoted supporting leg 20 is moved inwardly in the direction of the arrow a, the barrel receiving plate 21, which is secured at 22 to the ends of the bars 9 will move downwardly into engagement with' the ground.I thereby 90 allowing the barrel 18 to be positioned on the plate in such a manner that when the trame S is tilted, said barrel will assume the position shown .in Figure 2., Als the fra-me 8 is tilted through the medium of 95 the bar 15, the pivoted supporting leg 20 will move to the vertical position shown in Figure 2 and. hold, the tiltable iframe 8 in substantially a horizontal. position as shown in Figure 2, at which time fluid within the barrel will easily flow therefrom when a. spigot is applied thereto.

From the above it will be seen that a tiltable barrelv stand is provided, which is simple in construction and one wherein a barrel may be easily Vand quickly tilted. The device is particularly adapted for use in connection with oil barrels, however it may be used in connection with other types et' harn rels.

The inveiltion having been Set forth what is claimed as new and useful is vA tiltable barrel stand, said stand coinprisng` a base, a barrel receiving frame pivoted in said base, said frame having its pivots above the main body of the frame, an outwardly and upwardly extending ground engaging plate carried by one end of the pivoted barrel receiving frame, the outer end of the ground engaging plate being provided with an inwardly extendingcurved flange adapted to engage over the chine oi a barrel, a supporting leg pivoted to the angularly disposed ground engaging plate and so proportioned that after the pivoted frame has been moved lto substantially a horizontal position, it will support the frame in its horizontal positionland spaced member carried adjacent the other end of the pivoted frame 'for the reception of a bar whereby the pivoted frame may be easily tilted to horizontal position. v

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification inthe presence of i two subscribing witnesses.
